Cafe Du Monde
3301 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA
Crema's Take
“This beloved New Orleans institution in Metairie has mastered the art of the beignet—fluffy, generously powdered pillows that feel like a nostalgic homecoming for locals and visitors alike—though their cafe lattes and specialty drinks deserve equal praise. The warmth of the staff and homey atmosphere make it equally suited for lingering over coffee with friends or ducking in for a quick grab, creating those small moments of connection that define New Orleans café culture. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or discovering this iconic spot for the first time, the combination of exceptional pastries and genuine hospitality makes it worth the visit.”

Not too bad but I've had better beignets elsewhere. They were dense and chewy. I was also surprised with how much powdered sugar gets wasted because each of the bags was about a 1/4 full of it (over a cup)
love the vibe.. beignets are a must if you come to new orleans, perfect mix With a mocha
Had the opportunity to visit the Metairie branch and loved the experience. Felt very homey and was greeted so nicely by the staff. The beignets were warm, fluffy, and thoroughly coated with powdered sugar. We knocked out a plate instantly! The iced cafe au lait was a miss for me but I am particular about my coffee and it was just a little too watery for my taste. Overall, great experience and recommend to anyone visiting NOLA to try!
Had a business meeting here. Had a great cafe latte. But obviously they are best known for their beignets. Can't come here without getting those. The staff here was very nice. The bathrooms were clean. Plenty of parking. It is a really nice place to meet with a friend and catch up.
Finally came here for my self as an adult my mom has always kept these beignets in the cabinet growing up in Texas and now coming to the actual CAFE felt like connecting to a piece of my childhood I never really explored or knew the roots of! Service was very homely and welcoming like my great great great grandmas cousin grand daughter’s niece was serving or something! Ambiance was nostalgic. Iced coffee was amazing! Definitely was cold for hours and hours on the ride back to dallas from my Madi Gras visit! Highly recommend!
